Wonderful campground about 20 miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone. Plenty of space between sites and the host was super friendly and knowledgeable. He told us to go out in the evening for the most amazing stars that I have ever witnessed. The trail leading out of the campground is a must if you are into hiking!

The campground was lovely but it was the last day it was open. Unfortunately that meant all the trash receptacles were locked.

Our mid-September reservations were in site 26. The site was fine but really shady (cold) and closed in, so we opted to take the first-come-first-serve across the way (site 27). A "double-site", it was sunny and open (probably really hot in the summer), but since it was cooling in September, it was super nice. The cost was double, but with the Senior pass, it was a reasonable splurge. This campground seems to be a little tight, but space between most sites are generous. There is a nice (moderate) hike across the small bridge which follows along the river. I gave this campground 4 stars but I'd definitely stay here again. It has a longer season, some shade, and protection from the wind. There is fair amount of road noise that we tuned out after a while, but still a bummer.

Nice campground. The sites are spread out enough that you don't see everyone in the loop.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
